  1. Creating Accounts

To use certain of the Services, you may need to create an account. You may not create an account if you are under eighteen (18) or the age of majority (or equivalent term) in your local jurisdiction, whichever is higher.  You can access, edit and update your account by logging into your account on the Website. You are solely responsible for any activity on your account, and you must maintain the security of your password and accept all risk that someone may access your account without your permission. We are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your account. If you discover or suspect any security breach, please email us at customercare@carbon38.com as soon as possible. When you use the Services or create an account, you represent and warrant to us that all information that you provide in connection with your account is at all times accurate, truthful, current and complete. Carbon38 reserves the right to deny any account at our discretion.

  1. Purchasing Products

When you select a product to purchase, it will appear in your online shopping cart (the “Shopping Cart”). Once you have placed all products you would like to purchase in your Shopping Cart and are ready to checkout, the applicable taxes and any shipping charges will be calculated and you will see the total amount due and owing to be paid by you. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all payments must be made in U.S. dollars by PayPal or credit or debit account (or any other payment method we may authorize via the Services, including Apple Pay or Google Pay) via Carbon38’s authorized payment processor. Carbon38’s authorized payment processor will charge the payment method provided by you to the Services for the total amount displayed in your Shopping Cart.  Further, if you make payments within our Services by using Apple Pay or Google Pay, your use of Apple Pay or Google Pay will be subject to Apple’s (in the case Apple Pay) or Google’s (in the case of Google Pay) end user terms for their respective terms of service for such payment services.

You hereby authorize Carbon38 or its authorized payment processor to charge the Paypal or credit or debit card account or other payment method provided by you for the total amount displayed in your Shopping Cart for each purchase. You acknowledge and agree that all information you provide with regards to a purchase of products, including, without limitation, credit card, debt card, PayPal, or other payment information, is accurate, current and complete. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use and have fees charged to the PayPal or credit or debit card account or other payment method provided to Carbon38.

We reserve the right, with or without prior notice and in our sole and complete discretion, to refuse to allow any user to purchase any product or deliver such products to a user or a user designated address. Orders will not be processed until payment has been received in full, and any holds on your account by PayPal, your payment card carrier, or any other payment processor are solely your responsibility.

  1. Order Acceptance; Shipment

Once we receive your order, we will provide you with an order confirmation. Your receipt of an order confirmation, however, does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell; we are simply confirming that we received your order. We reserve the right at any time after receiving your order to accept or decline your order for any reason and in our sole discretion. If we cancel an order after you have already been billed, then we will refund the billed amount. Title and risk of loss for any purchases of physical products pass to you upon our delivery of the products to our carrier. We reserve the right to ship partial orders (at no additional cost to you), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the portion of any order that is partially shipped may be charged at the time of shipment. All orders are shipped using one of our third-party couriers. Online tracking may be available at our courier’s website (for example, FedEx), though we make no warranties regarding its availability because it is not under our control. While deliveries may be scheduled for a specified arrival, we cannot guarantee delivery by any specific date or time. 

  1. Changes and Pricing

Carbon38 may, at any time, revise or change the pricing, availability, specifications, content, descriptions or features of any products. While we attempt to be as accurate as we can in our descriptions for the products, we do not warrant that product descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. The inclusion of any products for purchase through the Services at a particular time does not imply or warrant that the products will be available at any other time. We reserve the right to change prices for products displayed on the Services at any time, and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur (and to cancel any orders in our sole discretion that were purchased with pricing errors). All such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting of such new product prices to the Services and/or upon making the customer aware of the pricing error. Additional terms on pricing and sales are set forth on the Prices/Sales/Promo Codes page within our FAQs available at https://carbon-38.myshopify.com/pages/faq (or such other successor URL that we may designate from time to time).

  1. Promotional Codes

We may offer certain promotional codes, referral codes, discount codes, coupon codes or similar offers (“Promotional Codes”) that may be redeemed for discounts on future products, or other features or benefits related to the Services. You agree that Promotional Codes: (a) must be used in a lawful manner; (b) must be used for the intended audience and purpose; (c) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available by you to the general public (whether posted to a public forum, coupon collecting Services, or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by Carbon38; (d) may be disabled or have additional conditions applied to them by Carbon38 at any time for any reason without liability to Carbon38; (e) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that Carbon38 establishes for such Promotional Code; (f) are not valid for cash or other credits or points; (g) may not be combined with any other promotional, discount, referral, or coupon code; and (h) may expire prior to your use. Use of Promotional Codes is subject to additional terms set forth on the Prices/Sales/Promo Codes page within our FAQs available at https://carbon-38.myshopify.com/pages/faq (or such other successor URL that we may designate from time to time).

  1. Gift Cards

Gift cards, including any promotional credits and merchandise credits thereon, containing stored money value may be offered by us for the purchase of products (“Gift Cards”). The purchase and use of Gift Cards is subject to our Gift Card Terms and Conditions available at https://carbon-38.myshopify.com/pages/gift-card-terms-and-conditions (or such other successor URL that we may designate from time to time), which are incorporated into these Terms by reference, and additional terms within our FAQs as set forth at https://carbon-38.myshopify.com/pages/faq (or such other successor URL that we may designate from time to time).

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, AND REPRESENTATIONS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN), OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ALL OTHER TERMS WHICH MAY BE IMPLIED INTO THESE TERMS BY LAW, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND CONTENT INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE SERVICES (INCLUDING REVIEWS).

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CARBON38 BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROPERTY OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE WEBSITE AND ANY REVIEWS) AND/OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES OR MATERIALS, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY) AND EVEN IF CARBON38 HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES (SUCH AS NEW JERSEY) DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT IS NOT EXCLUDED UNDER THESE TERMS, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF CARBON38 AND ITS DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES AND INVESTORS WILL NOT EXCEED $200, OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID CARBON38, IF ANY, IN THE PAST SIX (6) MONTHS FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

  1. Suspension and Termination 

If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by Carbon38 will terminate automatically. Additionally, Carbon38 may suspend or terminate your rights to access or use the Services for any reason or for no reason at all and with or without notice at Carbon38’s discretion. If Carbon38 deletes your account for any suspected breach of these Terms by you, you are prohibited from re-registering for the Services under a different name. In the event of account deletion for any reason, Carbon38 may, but is not obligated to, delete any of your reviews. Carbon38 shall not be responsible for the failure to delete or deletion of your reviews. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement by Carbon38 or you. Termination will not limit any of Carbon38’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

  1. Injunctive Relief

You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to Carbon38 for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and Carbon38 shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages.

  1. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without resort to any conflict of law provisions.

For any disputes that are not handled by arbitration, you agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be filed only in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of these Terms or the use or the Services.

  1. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH CARBON 38 AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM CARBON38.

In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or the Services, you and Carbon38 agree to consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing your mutual interests, try to reach a solution satisfactory to both parties. If we do not reach settlement within a period of 60 days, then either of us may, by notice to the other demand mediation to be administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms) in Los Angeles, California. Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. We both give up our right to litigate our disputes and may not proceed to arbitration without first trying mediation, but you and Carbon38 are NOT required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief from the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, any claim under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and Carbon38 are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. You may instead assert your claim in “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative and non-class basis.

If settlement is not reached within 60 days after service of a written demand for mediation, any unresolved controversy or claim will be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Rules before a single arbitrator in Los Angeles, California. The language of all proceedings and filings will be English. The arbitrator will render a written opinion including findings of fact and law and the award and/or determination of the arbitrator will be binding on the parties, and their respective administrators and assigns, and will not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitration determines that the expenses will be otherwise assessed and the prevailing party may be awarded its attorneys’ fees and expenses by the arbitrator. It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be concluded within 90 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit only if failure to do so would unduly prejudice the rights of the parties. Failure to adhere to this time limit will not constitute a basis for challenging the award. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, pre-hearing information exchange will be limited to the reasonable production of relevant, non-privileged documents, carried out expeditiously.

Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, Carbon38 will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to customercare@carbon38.com or to the U.S. mailing address listed at the bottom of this Agreement. The notice must be sent to Carbon38 within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Carbon38 also will not be bound by them.

  1. General

Enforcement of these Terms is solely at Carbon38’s discretion. Failure to enforce any part of these Terms in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the same or other part of these Terms in other instances. If any provision of these Terms is or becomes unlawful, void or otherwise unenforceable (including the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations above), then that provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. The section headings of these Terms are for reference purposes only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of these Terms. 

These Terms (and the other policies and terms referred to above) make up the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services, and they supersede any prior agreements that may have been made.
